He Is So Precious to Me

Author: Charles H. Gabriel Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: Christ Character; Christ Character First Line: So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King Refrain First Line: For He is so precious to me Lyrics: 1 So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King, His praise all the day long with rapture I sing; To Him in my weakness for strength I can cling, For He is so precious to me. Chorus: For He is so precious to me, For He is so precious to me; ’Tis heaven below my Redeemer to know, For He is so precious to me. 2 He stood at my heart’s door ’mid sunshine and rain, And patiently waited an entrance to gain; What shame that so long He entreated in vain, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) 3 I stand on the mountain of blessing at last, No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast; His smile is upon me, the valley is past, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) 4 I praise Him because He appointed a place Where some day, thro' faith in His wonderful grace, I know I shall see Him--shall look on His face, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) Amen. Used With Tune: [So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King]

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: The Father His Character Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure the soul must be, when, placed within your searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can face such majesty. 2 The spirits that surround your throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose dwelling here is dark, whose mind is dim, before the face of God appear and on my human spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode: an offering and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit’s energies, an advocate with God. 5 Such grace prepares us for the sight of holiness above: those once in ignorance and night can dwell in the eternal Light, through the eternal Love. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE

"He is precious"

Author: O. Heginbotham Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts O'er all thy graces rove, How is my soul in transport lost,-- In wonder, joy and love! 2 Not softest strains can charm my ears, Like thy beloved name; Nor aught beneath the skies inspire My heart with equal flame. 3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes Unnumbered blessings see; But what is life, with all its bliss, If once compared with thee? 4 Hast thou a rival in my breast? Search, Lord, for thou canst tell If aught can raise my passions thus, Or please my soul so well. 5 No; thou art precious to my heart, My portion and my joy: For ever let thy boundless grace My sweetest thoughts employ. Used With Tune: ARMENIA
